[Ubuntu-US-CA] Slow performance on Firefox 3

[Daniel Holbert]

Hi all -- I'm a mozilla developer, and I'd like to help if I can.  (I 
don't see slowness in Firefox 3 on Ubuntu 8.10, for what it's worth.)

Keith / Brian:
  - Can you provide the URLs of some pages that load slowly now? (Keith 
mentioned gmail, but it'd be easier to troubleshoot using a site that 
doesn't require login)
  - How consistent is the slowness? (always on these sites, or occasional?)
  - It's become slow with respect to what? (e.g. Firefox 2? or Firefox 3 
beta, before you upgraded to Hardy?)

Also, it'd be helpful if you could try out these builds to see if 
they're also slow:
  - the "firefox-2" package in hardy (after installed, run from command 
line with "firefox-2"
  - the latest Firefox 3 nightly build from
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/firefox-3.0pre.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2

It's easiest to test these when you've got *no* other Firefox processes 
running -- otherwise, it'll just open up another window for your 
currently-running Firefox session.

Thanks,
~Daniel
